Story
We adopted Shelly at the Lyndon Humane Society and she is currently 4 years old. She is very affectionate and loving. She could get pets from her humans all day if she could. With that being said, she does struggle with a bit of separation anxiety. She has a lot of energy and is very smart. She does very well with children! She hasn’t gotten the best of socializing with other dogs and would take some training and time. She only knows her basic commands but with more time and training I don’t have a doubt she’ll pick up quickly. We are looking for a family that she can thrive in, more so than the what we have been able to give her. I picture somewhere with a backyard, kids, and a few dog friends with someone who is willing to put in the extra training she needs.

Story
River Monster LitterMeet Linus! Linus is 1 year old. This playful pup needs someone who is very active and willing to train him. He is high energy, but very smart! He needs a patient home to teach them the dos and don'ts of puppyhood ans one that can handle his energy.   WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT LINUS COMES WITH FREE TRAINING WITH ROSIE DANE DOG TRAINING! Thanks to the Pedigree Foundation, we are able to work with the trainers at Rosie Dane Dog Training to pay for a 10 week Novice Training course once adopted. More details available upon request! If you would like to make Linus a part of your family, fill.out an application at www.barktownrescue.org. LINUS' ADOPTION FEE IS $170The shelter software system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of our dogs we are only guessing at the dog's predominant breed or breed mix. We strongly encourage you to select your new pet by looking at each dog's individual personality and pet qualities rather than relying on a breed label that is only our best guess.    Our adoption fees vary from $150 and up.  All of our dogs are up to date on vaccines, heart worm preventives, and flea/tick medication, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Portions of your adoption fee also help care for the sick and injured animals that we take in.  Thank you for supporting us and considering a rescue dog!    February 26, 2025, 6:38 am

Story
This is Luna, she is such a sweet baby. We got her when she was just a couple months old in a Walmart parking lot and she is now 3 years old. We are looking to rehome her because we do not have the time it takes to truly take care of her. She is a very energetic dog and needs a lot of it drained. But I do not have to time to drain is as I am away from home for typically 12 hours. And has to be in the crate the entire time. She is house trained but can not hold it long but will tell you when she needs to go out. She is a very loyal dog and is very friendly to people she just likes to jump a lot as well. She loves to play ball, sleep with a ball, and chew on a ball, she just loves being around a ball. She loves to give kisses and lay next to you even though she is not the biggest cuddle bug she just loves being in the room with you.

Story
Zoey is a beautiful young sable German Shepherd female estimated around 5-6 years of age. Zoey was a stray and we unfortunately do not know her history but Zoey is happily looking forward to having a family of her own.    Zoey is a playful and rambunctious girl. Her favorite activities include playing in muddy ponds, getting all the love, and inappropriately barking at unknown dogs and people. Zoey is learning how to navigate the world and make new human friends. While Zoey can be a very friendly and social girl she is at a critical point in her life known as the 'fear period' and can struggle with reactivity when meeting new people. It is extremely important that Zoey have a confident, experienced, handler that can compassionately guide her through the safe socialization she needs in order to learn how to navigate the world kindly. Zoey is very much a puppy and while eager to please she is still figuring out what is expected of her and how to rise to those expectations. Zoey has been great meeting volunteers with the guidance of her foster home and with those she knows is a very loving, playful girl. She has enjoyed going on hikes around private property and exploring ponds and mud puddles. Zoey is an active and athletic girl who is going to require ongoing exercise and structure to ensure her growth into a well rounded adult Shepherd. Zoey would be a great running companion, hiking buddy, and would likely excel in a number of dog sports. Zoey is NOT suitable for a home with children at this time.    Zoey is still figuring out other dogs and how to interact in a polite manner. Zoey can be very vocal when she meets new dogs and was defensive with other dogs when she arrived at her foster home. She has since settled in and is able to enjoy playgroups with other young Shepherds as well as group hikes. Zoey is slowly figuring out that she can play appropriately and doing a great job. Zoey will require ongoing structured socialization and guidance to maintain her progress as she is at an age of development where her socialization both in and out of the house is vital. Zoey is NOT friendly with cats or small dogs as she has shown a very high prey drive with both.    Zoey is a young, eager to please, and outgoing Shepherd who is searching for an active, loving, and adventurous home to give her the guidance and love she needs to grow into an even more wonderful companion. If you're the home for Zoey please email Tierhavenrescue@gmail.com for an adoption application or visit tierhaven.rescuegroups.org for FAQsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 8:53 pm
